Abstract

Magnesium intercalated vanadium oxide xerogels, Mg0.1 V2 O 5•2.35H2 O and Mg0.2 V2 O 5•2.46H2 O were synthesized using an ion removal sol gel strategy. X-ray diffraction indicated lamellar ordering with turbostratic character. X-ray absorption spectroscopy indicated greater distortion of the vanadium-oxygen coordination environment in Mg0.2 V2 O 5•2.46H2 O. Elemental analysis after cycling in Li+ or Mg2+ based electrolytes revealed the magnesium content was unchanged, indicating structural Mg2+ are retained. The Mg0.1 V2 O 5•2.35H2 O material displayed high voltage, energy density, and discharge/charge efficiency, indicating promise as a cathode material for future magnesium based batteries.
